Yeah, so I've been trying to create the dream characters I want... Not just the appearance, but the personality of each one of them. I actually did once, but they slipped out of my control within seconds and later on, I lost lucidity. Has anyone tried/done this before? Is it even possible?

It's possible, but hard to do completely. A lot of focus is required to sustain a DC's appearance and personality for a decent period of time. The moment you let your concentration slip, your SC will be in at least partial control of the dream character...this may mean the DC disappears or does something completely unexpected.

Somehow, creating characters and objects came naturally to me. (Apologies for bragging...)Here's how I did it:

1: You must be at a somewhat high level of lucidity.

2: Clear your mind, and close your eyes.

3: Visualize the character in front of you. You should be able to clearly see them interacting with the dreamscape, speaking, and you should also think of their personality while doing so. Continue to do this for a time.

4: When you open your eyes again, he or she should still be there as a dream character.

I didn't need to do much more to sustain the characters, they just kind of stayed at my side. Like minions. So I don't have much advice for that.

You tell that Mitt Romney bastard, If he screws with Big Bird, he screws with me.

@tomato: Very good guide, thanks for sharing.I do pretty much the same but it took me a while to get there. But it is really difficult to "embed" a personality when creating dream characters. Much easier to have their personality evolved naturally (just by observing them and respecting who they are) __________"We need man that can dream of things that never were." John F.
